In ancient mythology, he was a three headed dog, son of Typhon, that guarded the gates of the underworld. In The Inferno, he guards the third circle of Hell and punishes gluttons by feasting on them. He himself could be identified as one, but he is not a mortal with a choice. Instead, he is naturally inclined to eat when food is given.
Ciacco
Literally meaning "pig" in Italian, Ciacco lacks identity. He knew Dante in Florence. He therefore has knowledge of the Florentine Politics, and has a prophecy for Dante that although the white (guelphs) will control the power during early debates, in three years' time the black (guelphs) will begin to control the white for many years.
Last Judgement
In Catholicism, the Last Judgement is a time where Jesus Christ will resurrect and every soul will unite with its body. Those who are dead will retain their punishments or rewards, and only the living will receive the new judgment. The primary difference is that the feelings and reactions to the punishments or rewards will be corporeal, not just for the souls. Pain will be felt by bodies.
Florentine Politics 1300-1302
The white and black guelphs, which where opposing factions that supported the Pope, battled for control. Dante was part of the white guelphs, which were in power at the time. In 1300, leaders of both parties were punished through exile, but most of the white guelphs ignored their exile and returned. In 1302, however, Pope Boniface VIII gave French Prince Charles of Valois permission to throw out six hundred leading white guelphs. Dante was on of the six hundred.
Gluttons
Revelers who were never productive and only turned food into waste. In the third circle, they are surrounded by waste and slowly become waste themselves as Cerberus, the immortal glutton, feeds on them.

Claim
In Up, directed by Pete Docter, Charles Muntz belongs in the third round of circle nine in Hell due to his treachery against guests.
Data
Charles Muntz is an explorer who will do anything to get his hands on an exotic bird nicknamed Kevin. Carl Fredricksen idolizes Muntz and is finally allowed to meet him, and is even invited within the famous dirigible along with his companion Russel. Muntz finds out that the pair know of Kevin's location and he betrays them, surrounding the trusting adventurers with his pack of hounds, event trying to kill them.
Warrant
Muntz's actions are treacherous because he tries to kill his guests. One of his guests leaves everything he knows behind him just to find Paradise Falls, where Muntz lives.
Backing
Treachery against guests is betraying the trust of people that trust the host to care for them.
Counterclaim
Some may claim that Charles Muntz belongs in the inner ring of circle seven of Hell due to his violence against nature. He is hunting an exotic bird that is the last of its kind, and already displayed a skeleton of the only other member of the species. He explores to display nature for personal gain.
Rebuttal
Due to the death of the previous bird, Muntz is trying to capture the final bird alive, and he lives among dogs that trust him in Paradise Falls. He does not pollute the area and he does not harm Kevin even when he gets his hands on him.
